A few years ago, Australian Shiraz was all the rage. That was right around the time we were learning about wine, and many of our early tastings were of this varietal. We tried Shiraz from Yellow Tale and Lindemans, and recently, we fell in love with Bremerton's Old Adam Shiraz (that'll be a separate posting someday).
Tonight's wine is a Shiraz blend from Australia and, at around $20, is a real find: Hewitson Miss Harry 2004 (Grenache 44%, Shiraz 43%, Mourvedre 13%). It is a delightful, rich wine. Our notes: Aromas of mineral and earth. Dry. Low tannins, low acidity. We both tasted complicated minerals. Full-bodied but not overwhelming.
We sipped it without a food pairing, but we think it would go very well with a sharp cheese or a good steak. It is a great wine!
